2,4-D (sodium salt)

2,4-D sodium salt (Sodium 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate) is a selective herbicide that can be orally active for the control of broad-leaved weeds. 2,4-D sodium salt can induce apoptosis. 2,4-D sodium salt inhibits DNA and protein synthesis, thereby preventing normal plant growth and development[1][2][3].
